Welcome to the brand new ACES!

Welcome to ACES!

We are a new department at Stockholm University that was launched on January 1, 2015.

“ACES was formed from the former Department of Applied Environmental Science, Department of Analytical Chemistry, and the Division of Environmental Chemistry (formerly part of the Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry). With over 220 employees, the University has created a novel research environment that links modern tools of chemistry to the science of atmospheric aerosols, biogeochemical cycles and chemical contaminants. ACES will make us an even stronger partner for our many collaborators.”

Michael McLachlan Head of the Department

Environmental Science

Environmental Science is a multidisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, chemical, biological and information science to study natural processes and how humans and society affect these. At ACES, we conduct research in contaminant chemistry and ecotoxicology, biogeochemistry, and atmospheric science. We also run relevant courses and provide support to government agencies.

Analytical Chemistry

Analytical Chemistry is the sub-discipline of chemistry that deals with determining which substances and how much of these substances are present in a given sample. At ACES, we conduct research in air and particle analysis, biomolecular mass spectrometry, traditional Chinese medicine, contact allergens and work environment chemistry. We also run courses in chromatography, bioanalytical chemistry, and mass spectrometry.

Environmental Chemistry

Environmental Chemistry is the study of chemicals, both anthropogenic and naturally occurring, which could pose a risk for humans and the environment. At ACES, we conduct research in reactive organic compounds, semi-persistent compounds as well as persistent compounds in the environment. At present, we offer one course at the undergraduate level and two at the Masters level.

Important Information

The website of ACES is currently under construction and will go live in spring 2015. This interim website will serve as a portal to access news, contacts, job opportunities and information on the various education programmes available at ACES.
